Is there a way to speed up WiX builds?

Tags:

wix

I've built an installer using WiX 3.0. The installer contains additional installers that can be run to add functionality at a later time. The "sub" installers are large-ish (totaling ~200MB). WiX builds were around a minute until I added these "sub" installers and then times increase to about 11 minutes. For reference, I'm building to a single .msi output with the EmbedCab="yes". Any tricks out there to speed this up?

Why are Wix sites slow?

Wix sites will have slow speeds if the website is content-heavy with a lot of large images, videos, or animations. It could also slow down due to complex pages, an abundant amount of text and content, third-party apps, using a lot of fonts, and/or a slow internet connection.

How do I check my Wix speed?

Important: Site speed data is only available for sites that have received 10 or more site sessions in the last 7 days. Go to the Analytics & Reports in your site's dashboard. Click Site Speed.

The cab cache will probably save you a lot of time. See my answer to this question: Reusing WIX components to speed up candle/light
